How it all began…
At age 6, I had to say goodbye to my father as the AIDS virus took him from me and my family.
By 7, I started my first business selling stationary door-to-door. My first taste on how to make money!
By age 13, I had my first ‘real’ job managing a Chinese take-out restaurant.
I continued to take a pretty conventional path to life; studied hard, got good grades, went to a great university, and landed the ‘dream job’ upon graduating.
The only problem was, “who’s dream was I living?”
I soon discovered that I wasn’t meant to follow the conventional path to life.
I could feel such a strong desire to explore more than what society had taught me on what a successful life should look like.
At 22, I decided to ‘retire’ from conventionality and take more control over my life.
I quit the career job I had worked so hard to attain and soon found myself working at a high end sushi restaurant in Malibu, CA.
Each night provided me with countless opportunities to network and learn from our world’s rich and famous about the connection between money and happiness. Or the lack thereof.
A big part of my reality started to shift, If money wasn’t going to make me fully happy, then what would?
And so I began the search.
I needed a journey. I needed to experience change. I needed to find myself.
“It was my time to fly”
First it was 3 months hopping around Europe, then 6 months surfing in Indonesia and studying with Yogis in India.
India provided with me with a whole new set of spiritual tools. I couldn’t wait to return to the states and teach others this ancient practice I had just dedicated my life to studying.
The Universe kept sending me signs that I wasn’t ready to share my gifts just yet
I still needed to do the hard work; to slow down and go inward to find purpose, but I wouldn’t hear it. I wasn’t listening. I was running. Scared. Searching far and wide for purpose but terrified to face my own shadow.
“It was then that I was sent the biggest wake up call of my life”
Driving home from work one night, I was hit. Head on. Both my legs broken, scarring all over my body and lots of trauma.
A year in my bed. No where to run, no escaping.
Just me and my mirror
Mindset. Breathe work. Meditation. Stillness. Silence. Going within.
This became my daily practice. This was my medicine.
This was the ‘work’ I had been avoiding
I wasn’t meant to share my teachings with anyone yet. I needed to live them first.
And then came a calling.
As soon as I was well enough to walk again, I found myself in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador.
Healing.
Learning from Shamans about the power of Sacred Plant Medicine. Connecting back to my ancestors. Connecting back to source.
My second ceremony is where it all came to a head.
It was time to do my shadow work on unresolved emotions. It all came back to my dad.
It took me 20 years to get there, but in those 10 hours, I had finally learned how to grieve his loss.
From human form to one of my spirit guides. I realized he had never left my side. He’d been guiding me all along.
I still had 3 more ceremonies to complete. The full transformation from darkness to light.
I knew this wasn’t going to be enough as I still had so much learning to do.
“I needed to be a part of this work. To keep healing myself. To learn how to hold space for others.”
After the 5th ceremony, I returned to Los Angeles and sold everything I owned. I packed a 44L backpack and moved my entire life to this healing center.
I managed the retreats, taught yoga, created meals, facilitated ceremony, built community, and most importantly, re connected with self.
Physical ailments, emotional distress, sexual traumas, addictions, spiritual baggage, ‘uncurable’ diseases, you name it; it all came through this retreat center. For many this was a last resort.
For others, this was a fresh start
We were ALL mirrors for each other and were there for the same reason; to heal and connect with our higher purpose
I learned from each and every person as they left strapped with many new tools to take on life.
Over the course of many months, I was honored to play part in close to 200 people’s sacred healing journeys
“This was my superhero training. My masters degree in life.”
​
When my time at the center came to an end, I moved myself to a tiny little coastal fishing village.
I loved being one of the few ‘Gringos’ around.
6 months of surf, stillness, reflection and reintegration
Now, began my time to share what my journey had taught me. To help heal others. To help heal our world.
My time in Ecuador came to a close.
The Universe brought me back, full circle, to the states. A place I thought I was done with.
My work here wasn’t finished, it was just beginning.
I am here to help you find your spark within; to coach you into being life alchemist you are meant to be.
YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR REALITY
I’ve chosen a life outside the box and can guarantee you there is a whole world of magic waiting for you.
All you need to do is say YES!
